Q: Why can't my iphone process calendar reschedule notices in icloud?
Hi all - I have seen this question asked but can't find it being answered in earlier posts...hopefully someone has had this problem and worked out a solution.
Background:
I receive an .ics file to my iPhone which when opened has the option to "Add to Calendar".
Then, I go into calendar and accept the meeting. All good so far.
Then, the chairperson sends a meeting reschedule. I get a second email with an ics file attached. Now the fun begins.
Problem:
When I open the reschedule email notice (the attached ics file), NOTHING IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL MEETING REQUEST - the original time, location, attendees etc are all as in the original invitation that's already in my calendar.
Further THERE IS NO BUTTON TO ACCEPT THE RESCHEDULE OR TO UPDATE THE CALENDAR.
Result:
My calendar still shows the original meeting time and location - and sometimes I miss the meeting - not good! This is driving me mad!
Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.1
